-- TO MY FRIENDS --
What exactly is it that we're living for?
The bigger the goals and aspirations we have,
decides the depth and impact our lives have.
Let's try to live out everyday joyfully,
travelling down the road of our lives
for the sake of realising
the great ideal of kosen-rufu!

"How fortunate we are to take part in a struggle to which we can devote ourselves wholeheartedly, holding nothing back. As individuals, we also face challenges in our daily lives. The effort to carry out our human revolution is not by any means separate from the struggle for kosen-rufu.
"We strive to win in each of those struggles together with our fellow members and the Soka Gakkai, devoting the precious moments of our lives for the sake of Buddhism and society. Those efforts allow us to develop a life state of unshakable happiness for ourselves and help others do the same, and to dedicate our lives to creating a peaceful world through the humanistic principles of Nichiren Buddhism."
